Trump set to seal $100 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia

The latest news on the United States and Saudi Arabia. Donald Trump is preparing a colossal arms package for Saudi Arabia valued at over $100 billion, aiming to announce it during a state visit this May, according to sources.

The deal, involving top United States defence firms like Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Boeing, reflects a pivot from previous efforts under Joe Biden, whose administration tried, unsuccessfully, to secure a broader security pact with Riyadh.

While sources suggest that talks around F-35 fighter jets may surface, the real focus seems to be on drones, radars, and transport aircraft, with executives from several defence contractors rumoured to join the presidential entourage.
